Gary Sharp 224 Report post Posted September 3, 2016 Also why is there still no report up by the stipe as to why the racing was canceled at Manukau on the 25th August? What makes this time any different then every other time the races have been canceled at a track & a report has been but up explaining why. Even tho most of us know why it would still look professional having the report up there instead of having the meeting listed & nothing in the report.

modest mouse 469 Report post Posted September 8, 2016 After reading todays stipes report I think I'll give up on them. The word hampered was used a 1000 times. What happened to using the normal description of a race. I'm not from English speaking origin, but even I know better.

It REALLY brasses me off modest mouse and Interestedparty 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
modest mouse 469 Report post Posted October 30, 2016 After seeing todays attempt at writing the stipes report, I'm going to give up. It's as if someone at the helm allows the stipes only to use a few words. What was wrong with the "old" ones. It's not even literate. Please you can do better. alltheway!!!, Interestedparty, uddes and 3 others 6 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GONSTA 1,148 Report post Posted October 30, 2016 "Made contact with another runner" seems to be a common phrase, why don't they name the other runner? I agree today's stipes report is a very hard read. Never read 'contact' so much in my life in one report!! stoptheshit, uddes, modest mouse and 2 others 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
